It seemed like there was very little plot and even less point to everything. I know there are a lot of people who will find these characters charming and quirky, but I guess given the political climate right now, I have very little patience for hearing about the problems and bloated excesses of very rich people, especially those who are as vile as some of the people in this book. It was fun learning about Singapore culture, but otherwise, tbh, I'd much rather just watch the movie which at least attempts to make these characters have an arc, be likeable, and tell a story.
